Objective To explore the mechanism of action of Neiyi Soft Extract in the treatment of endometriosis(EMS)based on network pharmacology and transcriptomics.Methods A model of SD rat with EMS was replicated by autotransplantation method.After successful modeling,the rats were randomly divided into model group,Neiyi Soft Extract low-,medium-and high-dose groups and dienogest group,with 10 rats in each group.Another sham-operated group(10 rats)was set up.After four consecutive weeks of intervention,the volume size of the endometriotic lesions was measured,and its pathological changes were detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.RNA was extracted from the rat lesions for transcriptomic sequencing,and Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)functional enrichment analysis were performed on the differential genes among various groups.The main active ingredients and their targets of Neiyi Soft Extract were collected and screened in databases such as TCMSP,the disease targets of EMS were collected through databases such as OMIM,the intersection targets between the drug ingredient targets and the diseases were obtained by using Venn diagrams,GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of genes in the intersection targets of the drug ingredients and the diseases were performed by using gene enrichment analysis online tool(Metascape).The network pharmacology enrichment pathway and transcriptomics enrichment pathway were taken for intersection,the mRNA and protein expression levels of the key targets on the intersection pathway were correspondingly detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)and Western Blot,respectively.Results The volume of lesions in the model group was significantly increased compared with that of the sham-operated group(P<0.01);the volume of lesions in rats in the drug-administered groups was significantly reduced compared with that of the model group(P<0.05).A total of 341 active ingredients were obtained from Neiyi Soft Extract,and there were 2 178 disease-related targets of EMS,and 278 intersections between drug targets and disease targets;189 differential genes were screened in the sham-operated group and the model group;255 differential genes were screened in the model group and Neiyi Soft Extract high-dose group;and 740 differential genes were screened in the sham-operated group and the Neiyi Soft Extract high-dose group,including 390 up-regulated genes and 350 down-regulated genes.The result of intersection of KEGG enrichment pathways between the network pharmacology and transcriptomics showed that the distriution mainly included P53 signaling pathway,FOXO signaling pathway,cell cycle,etc.The qPCR and Western Blot validation results showed that Neiyi Soft Extract could inhibit the proliferation of endometrial stromal cells and up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of BAX,Caspase3 in EMS rats(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and down-regulated BCL-2 mRNA and protein expression levels(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Neiyi Soft Extract may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of EMS by regulating the P53 signaling pathway.

Background: Intraoperative hypercapnia reduces the time to emergence from volatile anesthetics, but few clinical studies have explored the effect of hypercapnia on the emergence time from intravenous (IV) anesthesia. We investigated the effect of inducing mild hypercapnia during the recovery period on the emergence time after total IV anesthesia (TIVA). Methods: Adult patients undergoing transurethral lithotripsy under TIVA were randomly allocated to normocapnia group (end-tidal carbon dioxide [ETCO2] 35–40 mmHg) or mild hypercapnia group (ETCO2 50-55 mmHg) during the recovery period. The primary outcome was the extubation time. The spontaneous breathing-onset time, voluntary eye-opening time, and hemodynamic data were collected. Changes in the cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery were assessed using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Results: In total, 164 patients completed the study. The extubation time was significantly shorter in the mild hypercapnia (13.9 ± 5.9 min, P = 0.024) than in the normocapnia group (16.3 ± 7.6 min). A similar reduction was observed in spontaneous breathing-onset time (P = 0.021) and voluntary eye-opening time (P = 0.008). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the adjusted ETCO2 level was a negative predictor of extubation time. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity was significantly increased after ETCO2 adjustment for mild hypercapnia, which rapidly returned to baseline, without any adverse reactions, within 20 min after extubation. Conclusions Mild hypercapnia during the recovery period significantly reduces the extubation time after TIVA. Increased ETCO2 levels can potentially enhance rapid recovery from IV anesthesia.

Sutureless scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens(SSF-PCIOL)is a technique mainly employed for the implantation and fixation of intraocular lens(IOL)when there is insufficient support from the crystalline lens capsule.In terms of clinical effects,SSF-PCIOL offers the advantages of improved visual quality and enhanced IOL stability in the patients.The surgical technique for SSF-PCIOL has evolved from the transvitreal scleral fixation approach,to the fibrin glue assisted approach,and then to the transconjunctival approach.The types of IOL available for clinical use have also shifted from traditional three-piece designs to specialized IOL designed for scleral fixation.SSF-PCIOL can be carried out in combination with other ophthalmic procedures and advanced auxiliary equipment to increase the precision of surgical procedures and the objectivity of outcome assessments while minimizing surgical trauma in the patients and ensuring surgical outcomes.This review discusses the evolution of SSF-PCIOL techniques,the characteristics of available IOL types,the synergistic application of combined procedures and auxiliary equipment,and the comprehensive evaluation of clinical outcomes,with the aim of providing clinical evidence for further refinement of the technique and offering references for surgical options for the patients with insufficient crystalline lens capsule support.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Claudin-6(CLDN6),tripartite motif-containing protein 59(TRIM59)and chemokine-like factor-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing member 6(CMTM6)in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)tissue.Methods A total of 135 NPC patients were selected as the study objects,and cancer tissue(observation group)and para-cancer tissue(control group)of all patients were collected.All patients were followed up for 3 years.According to the follow-up results,93 surviving patients were included in the survival group and 42 dead patients were included in the death group.The mRNA expressions of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of death in NPC patients.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between the expression levels of CLDN6,TRIM59,CMTM6 and the prognosis of NPC patients.Results Compared with the control group,mRNA expressions of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 were increased in the observation group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in age,sex,body mass index,TNM stage,bone metastasis,smoking history,drinking history and hypertension history between the survival group and the death group.Compared with the survival group,the proportion of NPC family history and the mRNA expression of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 in cancer tissue were increased in the death group(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the increased levels of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 in cancer tissue were influential factors for death of NPC patients(P＜0.05).According to the mean expression levels of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 mRNA in cancer tissue,patients were divided into the low expression group and the high expression group.The 3-year survival rate of the high expression group was significantly lower than that of the low expression group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The mRNA expressions of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 in NPC tissue are significantly increased,which is a risk factor for death in NPC patients,and the mRNA expressions of CLDN6,TRIM59 and CMTM6 are correlated with the prognosis of patients.

Pruritus is one of the common comorbidities in patients with chronic kidney disease, significantly reducing life quality and increasing the risks of depression and mortality. This report presents the treatment process of a patient undergoing maintenance hemodialysis with pruritus. The patient successively received an optimized dialysis prescription, management of chronic kidney disease-related mineral and bone disorder, correction of secondary hyperparathyroidism, enhanced skin care, and administration of gabapentin. However, pruritus symptoms of this patient persisted. Subsequently, the patient was treated with nalfurafine hydrochloride, resulting in significant relief of pruritus symptoms without any adverse reaction. This case provides new insights and references for the treatment of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus.
